If you're entering Kindergarten through 5th grade-this is for you! The Milford Public Library is here to encourage and support your summer reading goals.

It's been an interesting few months.  Well done everyone!  Your job this summer is to read, get outdoors and have fun.   Read at the beach. Read under blanket fort.  Read to your dog.  Listen to someone read to you.

Complete our Summer Bingo Board and earn a treat from us while also supporting a local business.  Gift cards will be mailed beginning in July.

Log the books you read and earn digital badges and a certificate.

Thank you Friends of the Milford Library for all your help, but especially now.  We are here for each other!

This program is for students entering grades 6 - 12 (Middle School and High School).

HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!

Each minute you read = 1 point!

For every 100 points (100 minutes you read), you will earn a scratch-off ticket (tickets will be mailed to your address, so please make sure it is updated!) 

Each scratch-off ticket will win you either a small prize or an extra raffle tickets towards our grand prize raffle at the end of the summer! Prizes vary from water bottles to  gift cards to local establishments.

Get to a goal of 500 points (500 minutes read) for the summer and you will win a $5 gift card to Scoopy Doo's Ice Cream! Plus, you'll receive an EXTRA raffle entry towards a GRAND PRIZES!

500 points = 500 minutes!
That's less than 10 minutes a day! 

Once you finish the program, you can even print or share your certificate!

Complete your 500 minutes by September 7th and print your log out for school. You can also print a completion certificate!

BONUS: Earn an extra raffle ticket for each additional 100 minutes you read after completing the challenge (up to 1,000)!

Track your reading online through READsquared or ask the Circulation Department for a paper reading log.
